Hot WAGS Out In Force For Masters: Why Are Golfers So Lucky With The Ladies?

It has come to our attention that some people are attending the Masters to watch something other than golf. And we're not talking about the azaleas. The Masters is the unofficial start of the golf season, and the official start of the WAG-watching season -- in the photo here you've got your Paulina Gretzky (girlfriend of Dustin Johnson and daughter of Wayne Gretzky); Dallas Cowboys cheerleader Kandi Harris (married to Hunter Mahan); and skier Lindsey Vonn (keeping close tabs on watching her boyfriend Tiger Woods).

Gretzky was on hand on Wednesday at the event's annual Par 3 Contest, while Harris and Vonn circulated today as the tournament officially got underway.

And there was a Caroline Wozniacki sighting on Wednesday, as Rory McIlroy's significant other was caddying for him during a practice round.

It's not exactly news that pro athletes attract hot babes, but it is still kind of surprising to me that this occurs in golf. Did it used to be this way? Did we ogle the wives and girlfriends of Lee Trevino, Arnold Palmer and Gary Player? I don't recall golfers babing it out like this: the WAG meter seems to currently be at an unprecedented level.

Perhaps we can thank Tiger for this: he broke the golf-and-hot-chick barrier, and others are reaping the rewards. Or maybe it's because there's more money in golf now, although I hate to be that cynical. Of course I could be wrong and golfers have been attracting the babes all along. Sam Snead's wife? Amazing. They didn't call him Slammin' Sammy for nothing.
